Funding for Shore Protection: New Jersey's Approach
The history of shore protection funding in New Jersey is rather bleak. From 1959 to 1980, a total of 56,810,080 was spent on beach restoration. Of that total, 27,084,768 came from the...
The Review of the Comprehensive Survey of the Coastal Zone of China
The purpose of the survey is to provide basic data for coastal zone development of China. The scope of survey is a long narrow belt area alongshore. The contents of the survey include...
Modern and Historic Mapping of Tidal Marshlands of San Francisco Bay, California
In this work, studies were made of two marshland sites shown on the old maps that presently remain subject to tidal action. For each site, historic maps dating from the 1850's were accurately...
Geologic Review: A Successful Procedure for the Minimization of the Impact of Oil and Gas Exploration and Production on Louisiana Wetlands
An effective procedure to minimize the amount of wetlands impacted by oil and gas well access routes has been developed. The procedure consists of a stringent geologic review of every...
Federal Policies in Water Resources Planning
The adequacy of current federal policies and institutional arrangements for water resources planning is assessed. Conclusions and recommendations are presented in five key areas: (1) Water...
Watershed Management in the Eighties

Effect of Shallow Trench Construction on Cast Iron Pipelines
This paper summarizes the results of three-dimensional finite element analyses to evaluate the strains and displacements sustained by 4, 6, and 8-in. (100, 150, and 200 mm)-diameter cast...
Successful Use of Trench Box in Sewer Line Construction
Faced with the problems of ever increasing construction costs, more and more methods are being employed in an attempt to keep expenses to a minimum without sacrificing the quality of construction...
Sewer Construction Inspection and Testing
Sewer construction testing is the final portion of the team effort that started with the goal of meeting the requirement for a sewer system for the protection of health and environment....
SPIDA: An Analysis and Design System for Buried Concrete Pipe
The paper presents a description of a new computerized direct design method for buried concrete pipe named SPIDA (Soil-Pipe Interaction Design and Analysis). Also the technical basis and...
Experiences in Concrete Pipeline Construction in Ontario 158-1985
The paper discusses the title subject in terms of concrete pipe fabrication methods and plants, pipe jointing and jointing materials, and construction experiences in the Province of Ontario,...
Earth Pressure and Surface Load Effects on Buried Pipelines
Rational techniques for analyzing earth pressure and surface load effects, based on finite element analysis methods, have been developed and applied extensively to the design of buried...
Characterization of Soil Arching Above Buried Conduits
Conventional ways of assessing the effects of soil arching over buried conduits were examined by means of finite element analyses. It was found that neither of the conventional soil arching...
Response of Buried Flexible Plastic Conduits Under Loading
Structural performance of 75 mm and 100 mm diameter plastic conduits embedded in Lloyd clay were examined experimentally in a laboratory soil bin, and numerically by the finite element...
A 1-D Saltwater Intrusion Program on the IBM-PC
A one-dimensional finite element program has been developed for use on the IBM-PC as an aid to teaching groundwater hydrology to students. The program uses linear elements and the Galerkin...
